Want the new Android Market?

http://www.androidcentral.com/grab-new-android-market-app-while-its-hot
You might have heard that Google was rolling out a new Android Market, complete with book and movie rentals. You also might have heard it would coming in the next few weeks. Well thanks to an anonymous source (possibly with a time machine) you can grab it today.
Hit the download link, and install it from your SD card like any other app. Fair warning -- we don't know if there will be any complications from doing this, but we haven't seen any so far. Use your best judgement. Discuss it in the forums!

I have occasionally gotten an "error retrieving information from server" but other than that it seems to work.

Seems a little cluttered but i like it mostly. I'd recomend using something to backup your old market app in case this one doesnt work for anything, in the comments on that post some people said they were having problems uninstalling/updating apps.

I had no problem uninstalling apps. Haven't tried updating yet.

Yeah, I just uninstalled and installed an app no problem too. But all of my apps are up to date so I don't know about updating.

Do y'all have the video/movie tab?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App

I think this is a beta and the movie tab will be in the next update they're not done with it.

awesome looks cool by any chance anyone running Ninja 7061 and using the new market place.
? though since I have the stander market how would I save the .apk for that so just in case I dont like this one? Also do I just add the this new .apk like any other .apk file, I use Android Side Load Wonder Machine when I install .apks

Why bother with any software or plugging your phone in to install an APK? It all seems a bit unnecessary. I just chrome-to-phoned the dropbox URL and bam app installed.

If your running tpgb ninja your rooted, so you don't need the sideload machine, just go to settings>applications>and check unknown sources. Then put this apk on your sd card and use file manager (an app installed in ninja) to select it and install.
Oh, and i am running ninja 7061. but i think i might just go back to stock CM

FOr people who want old market follow these steps:
(Originally Posted By:Chris Chavez of Phandroid)
Go into your phone’s Settings
Select “Manage Applications”
Select the “All” tab at the top
Scroll down to Market app and select it
Select “Uninstall Updates”
Now have your old Market back!
----------------------------------------------------
If that fails, install gapps via rom manager>download ROM>gapps

It's not a "method" really, it's just.. installing the app, the same way you would any APK. Doesn't matter how you get the url to the APK to your phone (email, chrome to phone, typing it in by hand).

Modern Warfare 3: Fallen Nation

Totally works if you modify the build.prop. I altered model, brand, name, device, board, and manufacturer to that described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18687400&postcount=10
Got annoyed when they wouldn't even let me purchase the game under the $.49 sale in case I upgraded later. Oh well, workaround achieved.
[edit] I should have mentioned that before you do anything make a backup in CWM. Now, I'll be working on today seeing if i can freeze the app before a restore and then get it working again. Changing the build.prop can have some unforeseen consequences such as Swype having now lost its license. [/edit]

would you mind showing some proof. and if i do do it, do i just edit the lines that he has in red?

Not necessarily, what I've figured out is that at most you have to change the six lines defining the terms I mentioned in the first post. Link is just for reference.
As far as proof I might make a video when I can get around to it. Maybe even showing SixAxisController at work.

I recently changed my build.prop to "Droid3" specs so I could download and play modern combat 3, however I noticed that after I had done so, my accelerometer took a dump. Like, did not work at all.
It didn't even work after I changed my BP back to my normal Atrix2 specs. (After a reboot of course)
Luckily (thank you recovery) I had made a backup right before I changed the BP, and was able to go back in time two hours and get my accelerometer working again.
Anyone else ran into this?

No try nexus s trick
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

I'm late to this and I'm not being an ass but it's called modern combat, not modern warfare. Sorry stuff like that just drives me nuts.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

I said "modern combat" in my post....
Anyways the nexus s trick doesn't work for me. I think you need to change just more than the name in the phone.
Quite possibly board as well?
If someone has got this to really work without screwing up some important part of their phone maybe you can post it a screenie of your build?
EDIT: Or maybe can lay out all the specs required for the nexus s?
Sent from my Atrix2 using XDA

I changed my build.prop to make my phone like the Infuse. That worked for me so i can play all gameloft games games the market. The nexus s build.prop did not work so that is why i chose the infuse.

Heres what my build.prop looks like to get the games to work. Sorry that pic isn't that clear.

Tmease does this screw with your accelerometer or Swype? This happens with me and the only way to get it back is with a nandroid restore.

No, the Swype I am using is the actual one you get off of swype web site. I haven't had any issues at all with this set up.

(Q) Apk Icon locations

I am running stock 2.3.6 and it is rooted. I am wanting to change the icons for some of the stock apps. I have done this plenty of times before with a couple of my other phones and i know how to do this. I am not used to Motorola software and i am having a hell of a time locating where these icons are stored at. I'm wanting to change the Text Messaging app icon and the Email app icon. Usually they are in the system/app with the app itself. I have dug around in this location and can't seem to come up with anything. If someone could give me a location of these two icons i would greatly appreciate it.
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium

/system/framework/blur-res.apk

Thank you very much. When i first started digging for the icons i didn't realize how much Motorola made their software different than the other manufacturers. I really appreciate it, thanks again.

Ok, i got the email icon to change but the txt icon stayed the same.

I use Desktop Visualizer for this, works like a charm!
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App

I tried to change the browser icon and ended up with the apk in the system but missing from the home launcher and couldn't get it to show up at all so i had to flash back to 2.3.5 and start over. That's what i get for not installing bootstrap and making a backup. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get rid of the oversized Google search bar so i can just have a normal one.

Just downloaded, it does what i need it to do. I wished i would of known about this app last night. It would of saved me from having to flash back to 2.3.5. O well, at least i learned what not to do and it was good practice. Screwing **** up is the best way to learn. Thanks

Using that app is for guys like me who have no intention of learning the guts of Android, but you seem like a guy who wants to learn that stuff so it makes sense you'd go about it the way you did. Glad it worked for you though, it's a pretty nifty app that can be used for more than just changing icons too, def a must have for any Android user IMO.

I like to actually do personal theming with roms by actually tearing a rom apart on my computer and changing things. I really don't like just getting things off of the market to do theming. It's a little too easy . Since we are limited with the a2 as far as roms go i haven't really got into it as much as i did with my infuse or my captivate. Once i start learning more about motorolas software ill get back into it. Thanks again for your help, that app is pretty good.

I have another question regarding the apk itself this time. I am a big swype person and I have a big collection of swype apks that are themed. I am wanting to get rid of any traces of Swype from being a system apk, that way i can install any of the swype apks that i store on my sd card without any hassle. Now, i have uninstalled the stock swype, i got rid of the com.swype file that is in the data/data folder. The phone still sees it as a system apk. Does anyone know where there might be a file or a text telling the phone that it is a system apk?

I actually didn't notice any performance improvements when I ran it. Didn't see a decrease either.
The settings really depend on the game you're trying to play. Experiment.

I used chainfire...I tried it with stock rooted and it didn't work
...it worked with tweaked but I don't know if it helped (i didn't really test it)...i bought mobile odin pro just to support developing and gave CHAINS a dump file...and every market update I try it again...not working yet... I bought the moar power...it works...but if you don't like it...it take more than a simple uninstall to remove it...which means your phone keeps turning on everytime you charge it...until you clean out the right files
